I haven’t ever received an error message about the sensor’s, every now and then I get some phantom beeping. I believe it may be due to my spare tire but it’s never really bothered me. What year is your Jeep, I wonder if it’s a newer error message?

@@FROSTBITEOFFROAD 2022. Could be. I’m thinking it’s either the spare or the sensors may not be at the correct factory angles in the Motobilt bumper? Working theories here; not sure yet. First step will be to take the spare off and see if it goes away and then adjust it up. I’ll report back. Thanks!

How does the steel it black match the factory steel front bumper?
@FROSTBITEOFFROAD2 жыл бұрын
I really like the Steel-It coating, it’s a nice black color with a smooth texture. It does look good on the Jeep but it’s different than the factory bumper texture, the factory color is more flat with some texture to it. You could always have it powder coated to match if that’s important to you, thanks for watching Mark!

Will the stock plastic sensors work ? Ik you upgraded the clips to work in the steel rubicon bumper.
@FROSTBITEOFFROAD2 жыл бұрын
You do need to purchase the specific clips for the steel bumper, the plastic ones would have to be cut out and glued to make them work. It’s been done but it’s not a super clean look and could be an issue down the road. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

So did you actually order your bumper using that exact link from northridge? I ask because I ordered that exact bumper 3 days ago from northridge and I'm really hoping I get the "upgraded" one with the sensor holes. I see the picture is the older one without. Hopefully I don't get one that's been sitting on the shelf for a year or something.

Yeah I ordered mine from Northridge 4x4 they are in the same state so shipping is usually really fast. They should send you the updated one they are a pretty high volume shop, let me know how you like it once it shows up 👍

I got my bumper and it does have the sensor holes. Phew. I was nervous. Haven't had a chance to install it yet or even paint it but it looks awesome. Very well built.

@@Arcticcat843 that’s great you got the new version, they definitely are well built! They do salt the roads in Washington sometimes so we’ll see how it holds up through winter.
